Depends of the Surgeon and they will let you know ahead of time. If it's done its usually placed while under general anesthesia so you won't feel or see it happen.

I don’t have one initially but I got taken back into theatre a couple of hours after my op so they inserted one then. It definitely made life easier not having to get out of bed for a couple of days.

Mine was Go just before you're transported to OR; unless I run into something unplanned- You'll be catheter- free! Needless to say--I Did Follow the Plan! Tube Free for ME!😛💦🙏

I didn't have one either and believe me, I was sweating it out until I found out my surgeon didn't do it!

I didn't have one, the dr told me that they didn'y put one so you get to move right after surgery, but I think it depends on the surgeon

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
